Delete this, YouTube will catch on and block this workaround.
Edit: disregard. Here is a custom GreaseMonkey/ViolentMonkey userscript to automatically do this for you:
// ==UserScript==
// @name YouTube to Embed Redirect (Desktop & Mobile)
// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version 1.1
// @description Redirects YouTube video URLs (desktop and mobile) to their embed version.
// @author BaroqueInMind
// @match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v*
// @match https://m.youtube.com/watch?v*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
// Extract the video ID from the URL
const videoId = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('v');
if (videoId) {
// Redirect to the embed URL
window.location.href = `https://www.youtube.com/embed/$%7BvideoId%7D`;
}
})();
Wouldn't surprise me in the least if some of the employees are watching threads like this one.
BTW, go fuck yourself, YouTube devs!
Still working here, you can try clearing ubo's cache to see if it goes away.

Haven't got this yet.
I always wonder what part of the world those who do are in. Cuz I get the feeling YouTube is only doing this shit in certain regions. Or if it's just a hiccup with the adblocker itself, because it was shown pretty early on when these reports first started being posted that it was an issue with AdBlock Plus as well as there being workarounds for uBlock Origin due to some buggy Firefox updates.
